Info from The British High Commission in Nicosia - GESY

Thought that this should be shared from Facebook.

The new Cypriot General Healthcare System (GESY) opens for registration for some categories of users from tomorrow (24 April).

From 24 April, adults aged 16 and over can register both in the General Healthcare System register as well as in the register of their personal doctor/GP of preference.

The Cypriot authorities have confirmed that UK state pensioners who are also S1 form holders will be entitled to free state healthcare under GESY, but they will need to register.

From 6 May 2019, children and teenagers aged up to 18 years old can also register both in the GHS register as well as in the register of their preferred paediatrician.

Have just seen and read through this. On first sight it doesn’t appear that its easy to register with the General Healthcare Register and the annex to this which details what extra proof in the form of certificates is or may be required is presently all in Greek! I wonder if there is an English translation of this?

I think it must be available in English.

Here is a screen grab I took a while ago .

As GESY is a local initiative/process and does not in any way belong to HMG or BHC, any queries or issues with registration should be directed to them - they are very receptive to emails: [email protected]
